Local Shops Study

Local shops play a key role in our community. The Cumberland Local Shop Study is intended to demonstrate the key role local shops play in Cumberland, the challenges they face and their opportunities for improvement and/or enhancement.

Local shops play a key role in our community. They nurture social wellbeing and connection, deliver convenient local goods and services and add a rich layer of character and local identity to our neighbourhoods.

Cumberland’s local shops are diverse and varied, ranging from one or two shops in quiet residential areas to larger groupings of shops along busy roads. Local shops are places where people can connect and access convenient local goods and services which, in turn, contributes to the local identity of our neighbourhoods.

The Cumberland Local Shops Study is intended to demonstrate the key role local shops play in Cumberland, the challenges they face and their opportunities for improvement and/or enhancement.

Council adopted the Cumberland Local Shops Study at its Ordinary Meeting held on 1 May 2024.
